Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, let's do that. If you notice anything amiss, let me know in advance."

Ling Zhenfei also put on the earpiece for communication, so he and He Kun could stay in contact at all times.

At this time, the fight in the small square had changed. Too many people had come from the opposing side. Although Zhou Jian and the others were not afraid of them at all, once the fight started, they realized how terrifying a large crowd could be.

Zhou Jian's strength was still too low. For those cultivators with low strength, cultivation's effect was mainly to strengthen the body.

If one's strength is a bit higher, they can fight a hundred with one; reaching Ling Zhenfei's level of strength, it becomes extremely easy to instantly defeat these ordinary people.

Now, Ling Zhenfei could even use a soul attack to take these people down.

However, as a cultivator, it's impossible to actively attack those ordinary people.

Firstly, because it goes against the ancient pact among cultivators.

Moreover, as a doctor, Ling Zhenfei would even less likely do such a thing.

The two sides were fighting fiercely. Zhou Jian and the others only managed to withstand one wave of assault before struggling. Besides Zhou Jian, who had cultivated Northern Spiritual Energy, the rest were all beaten down, and Zhou Jian was also barely holding on.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew. The ground was originally a construction site yet to be completed, and now the sand and stones suddenly flew up from the ground.

For those unaware, it might seem like a strong wind had started. Actually, it wasn't so; anyone with keen eyes could see it was done intentionally by someone. Ling Zhenfei didn't need to look to know this was Chunyu's doing.

Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers had now become sand and stones, making the power naturally different.

The sand and stones flew towards those people, blowing fiercely.

The hoodlums were about to win, but unexpectedly, a strange gust of wind suddenly kicked up, causing a stinging pain on their cheeks.

They cried out in pain, some of the larger stones hitting them squarely on the face, which naturally hurt a lot.

However, there were also stubborn ones who shouted to the people behind them, "Everyone, quickly rush inside."

With the strange wind blowing outside, going inside was indeed a good choice. But suddenly, a figure appeared blocking their way at the entrance.

Seeing someone standing in their way again, they naturally knew it was someone from Xi Shan Restaurant, so they started attacking that person. The one who stood out was He Kun.

Although He Kun's primary objective was to help Ling Zhenfei uncover their plan, his other motivation was to protect Xi Shan Restaurant.

So He Kun took action. He Kun's strength was at the Zhiyi Boundary, already a very powerful cultivator, so it was easy to deal with these thugs.

But earlier, Ling Zhenfei had instructed him to buy time, so He Kun didn't use his powerful Northern Spiritual Energy against these thugs.

Meanwhile, Chunyu also stepped forward to face them. Before He Kun could take action, Chunyu had already moved.

Chunyu's strength hadn't fully reached the Zhiyi Boundary yet, but it was close. Although she could already use spiritual energy to manipulate Flying Sand and Moving Stones, there was still a slight gap.

Chunyu's martial arts were decent. Ling Zhenfei had taught her and even given her many Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals. Bai Mei also taught her.

With He Kun's teaching as well, even without spiritual energy, Chunyu could be considered a Martial Arts World expert.

Chunyu's sudden appearance drove those hoodlums crazy. A little beauty suddenly showed up and even fought alongside them. They all wanted to take Chunyu down.

But once they engaged, they realized Chunyu's skills. Her movement was elusive, and no matter how many came, they couldn't touch even a corner of her clothes.

However, with one punch, Chunyu could knock someone down. A kick could send someone flying. Although her attacks weren't fast, those hoodlums weren't gaining any advantage.

This time, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to stop watching the fight and head upstairs. His soul energy was already spread out.

He had checked everything happening in the building and found no one hiding.

Ling Zhenfei moved to the next building, letting his soul enter first to search the other floors.

Earlier, he clearly sensed spiritual energy fluctuations here, indicating the presence of a cultivator. But now, upon entering, he realized he was mistaken; there was no one here.

No people, no cultivators. This made Ling Zhenfei quite puzzled. Could it be he was overthinking things?

Or perhaps they already knew about Ling Zhenfei's presence and realized the plan was exposed, so they withdrew early.

But it didn't make sense. These people had put so much effort into luring him from Tangcheng. Would they just leave?

Ling Zhenfei was very shocked and quickly left the building to search elsewhere. By then, the fight in the square was nearly over. Under Chunyu's hands, the thugs were beaten badly and finally couldn't get back up.

Just then, the sound of police cars could be heard approaching. But as this place was a construction site, the police couldn't get in easily, so only the sound was audible.

A few policemen then walked over, carrying very professional equipment, and even their footsteps sounded different.

He Kun's voice came through the earpiece: "These policemen seem a bit special."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "How are they special?"

He Kun said, "I sense spiritual energy in them, indicating they are cultivators."

Ling Zhenfei was startled upon hearing this and asked, "What is their strength?"

Having cultivators in the police force is normal; there's no reason why a policeman can't be a cultivator, and who says cultivators can't be policemen.

He Kun said, "I can't tell their strength yet, but they are definitely cultivators."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's see what they want to do."

At that moment, they heard the police officers' voices through the earpiece.

"All of you, stay put. Don't you know it's illegal to fight in groups?"

Zhou Jian said, "Officer, we called the police. These people came to collect protection fees."

The officer said, "Even if they came to collect protection fees, how could you beat them so severely? This is a group fight, and no one will get away with it."

"Everyone, squat down; you'll all be coming to the police station with me later."

The hoodlums started to shout at that moment: "We were the ones beaten badly. Shouldn't we go to the hospital first?"

The officer shouted, "Hospital? We'll talk at the police station. Confess honestly who hit you and who was involved."

Chunyu was clearly the one who acted earlier, but the thugs all pointed at He Kun.

"He was the one who beat us up; he's carrying a weapon."

"Yeah, this guy is the one who hit us."

Zhou Jian and the others hurriedly said to the police, "Officers, you've got it wrong. He didn't do it; we defended ourselves."
